Today's starters:
Pearl Harbor Day is today.
Arab countries are seeing the Iraq Study Group's report as proof President Bush has failed. Arab countries aren't the only ones cheering the report, though. The American press has been positively giddy about it, even though it's been ill-received by conservatives and liberals who actually study foreign policy.
Australian women plan "bikini protest" of imam's comments that the everyday attire of women in that country makes them nothing more than "uncovered meat."
Democrats' 2006 victories seemed to have purged the Republican party of its moderates. Democrats, meanwhile, are alleged to have secretly met with the terrorist group Hamas. Not everyone believes this, though.
RIP: Megan McClung,
a press officer for the Marines stationed in Ramadi, Iraq. She was
killed trying to fill an information request.
